Instagram Feed Planner to preview your grid
Drop in your next posts, drag them into order and preview your profile on the 3:4 grid, right above the posts you already have. Your plan is saved in this browser and your photos never leave your device.
How to plan your Instagram feed
A better-looking profile in four steps, no account needed.
1. Add your next posts
Select several photos at once or drop them in. Add a few posts that are already live too, for context.
2. Arrange the grid
Drag posts around, or tap one and move it. Mark carousels and Reels so the mix is easy to see.
3. Check the profile
Edit the header with your name, bio and photo to see your profile exactly as visitors will.
4. Post in order
Download the posts renamed in posting order, or a snapshot of the grid to share for approval.

What makes a profile grid look planned
- Alternate busy and calm. Put a close-up or a text post between two detailed photos so the grid has room to breathe.
- Repeat a colour every row. One recurring tone across each row of three ties the profile together.
- Mix formats. Spread carousels and Reels through the grid instead of bunching them up.
- Mind the top row. The first three posts are what most visitors see before deciding to follow. Make them your strongest.
- Think in rows of three. Every new post shifts the grid one place, so patterns built on columns move unless you post three at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Planning, privacy and posting order, answered.
What is an Instagram feed planner?
An Instagram feed planner lets you arrange upcoming posts on a mock profile before you publish them, so you can check colours, variety and layout across the grid. This one shows the current 3:4 profile grid, a profile header you can edit, and the posts already on your account underneath.
Are my photos uploaded to Viral Suite?
No. Your images stay on your device. The plan is saved in your own browser storage (IndexedDB) so it is still there when you come back, and it is never sent to a server. Clearing your browser data or using private browsing removes it.
How do I reorder posts?
On a computer, drag a post to a new spot. On a phone, press and hold a post until it lifts, then drag it. You can also tap any post and use the First, Left, Right and Last buttons.
What are planned and live posts?
Planned posts are the ones you are about to publish. Live posts are ones already on your profile; add a few recent ones so you can see how your next posts sit next to them. Planned posts always appear above live ones, just as new posts will on Instagram.
Which post do I publish first?
Follow the blue numbers. Post 1 is the one lowest in your planned posts and goes up first; the top-left post goes up last. Downloads are renamed with the same numbers, so you can post them straight from your camera roll in order.
Why does the grid crop my photos?
Instagram now shows profile posts as 3:4 portrait thumbnails. Square and 4:5 posts are centre-cropped to fit, and the planner crops the same way, so what you see here is what your profile will show. Upload 1080 x 1440 images to avoid any trimming.
Can I mark carousels and Reels?
Yes. Tap a post and set its type to Photo, Carousel or Reel. The grid shows the same corner icons Instagram uses, so you can check the mix of formats at a glance.
Can I plan a puzzle grid?
Yes. Split your image in the Instagram Grid Maker and tap Add to Feed Planner, or add the numbered tiles you downloaded. The planner reads the numbers and puts every tile in the right place.
Can I share my plan with a client or teammate?
Download a PNG snapshot of the planned grid and send it for approval, or download the planned posts as a ZIP with files named in posting order.
Is the Instagram feed planner free?
Yes. It is free, with no signup and no connection to your Instagram account.
